<p>For better visibility of all the file locations where you can place scripts to
be auto-loaded with inferior &mdash; or to protect yourself against accidental
execution of untrusted scripts &mdash; <small>GDB</small> provides a feature for printing
all the files attempted to be loaded.  Both existing and non-existing files may
be printed.
</p>
<p>For example the list of directories from which it is safe to auto-load files
(see <a href="Auto_002dloading-safe-path.html#Auto_002dloading-safe-path">Auto-loading safe path</a>) applies also to canonicalized filenames which
may not be too obvious while setting it up.
